I've searched and only found that people claim they have done it but no tutorial or anything I could find. Which leads me to the following question: how do I use the SSI includes in my index.php for the mambo cms? I've just hardcoded a few includes in there but it doesn't show up.

I then saw that the template example page of SMF has the extension shtml, which makes it server side, right?

Somebody help me out, I just want to have the last 10 threads on my frontpage (frontpage Mambo, forum of course SMF).

Thanks (the page is http://www.syndicate-1.com)Phil

You have to put the include in your Mambo template, before the "</head>" tag.

Well, then I have the problem that I don't have the location defined, right? I mean, it's like Javascript: defined in the <head> I still have to call it somewhere.

How do I tell the template where to display the top 10 topics?

Thanks,Phil

Well, it depends, I'm not clear on how Mambo's templates work.

But, if you call the ssi_recentTopics() function, it will display those - if you have SSI.php included.

Okay, I implement the include in the header and just call it? I will try and let you guys know.

@Unknown: Mambo's templates are very basic, pure html with includes for the components.
